Casio to Release MR-G Inspired by the World's Largest Frog
Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of a new MR-G timepiece, adding to the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The design of the new MRG-BF1000RG, the latest timepiece in the FROGMAN line of divers' watches, evokes the world's largest frog — the goliath frog. The FROGMAN shock-resistant diver's watch is known for its asymmetric design, crafted to allow unrestricted wrist movement underwater. The MRG-BF1000R, released in 2023, brought this unique form to life with a highly water-resistant titanium case. Its meticulous construction, including a polished finish down to the finest details, has earned it high praise. Building on the MRG-BF1000R, the new MRG-BF1000RG draws inspiration from the goliath frog — the world's largest frog — found in the tropical rainforests of West Africa. Its colors and design evoke a spirit of adventure, capturing the thrill of exploring untamed wilderness. The khaki band, inspired by the coloring on the back of the goliath frog, is made with a soft, highly flexible fluoro rubber material, ensuring a comfortable fit. The beige indexes, evoking the coloring on the frog's underside, are coated with Neobrite for excellent visibility even in low-light conditions. The titanium screw-lock case back is fitted with a sapphire crystal, finished with a vibrant green vapor deposition inspired by the eye of the Goliath frog, and maintains a highly water-resistant structure while preserving the built-in antenna's radio wave reception sensitivity. In dive mode, the hour and minute hands overlap to form a single hand, providing an intuitive, easy-to-read display of time spent underwater. Three dual-coil motors enable swift hand movement, allowing users to switch quickly from current time display to dive time display — making this a truly practical diver's watch.

G-SHOCK & Swatch's New Divers Drops Are Totally Aquaman's Drip!
Watches are more than just everyday accessories — they are instrumental tools meant to aid us in our daily lives. But when the going gets wet, these tools are sometimes the first to give way. That's why G-SHOCK and Swatch, two of the leading brands in the world of watchmaking, have created a pair of hardy pieces that get the job done, wet or not. G-SHOCK MRGBF1000 'Goliath Frogman' G-SHOCK has introduced the MRGBF1000, a high-end, full-metal G-SHOCK MR-G watch made for the ocean. The FROGMAN family of diver watches, which is renowned for its ISO 200-meter water resistance, now includes this titanium armoured watch. The Conraua goliath, the largest frog in the world, serves as the model's inspiration, hence the nickname 'Goliath Frogman.' It transforms the amphibian's imposing size and organic colours into an eye-catching pattern. This watch's exterior features an intricate asymmetrical design that was painstakingly created using titanium parts that were individually polished and finished. In addition to unique buffers that strengthen its shock-resistant structure, this elaborate construction features an O-ring waterproof seal that guarantees exceptional FROGMAN water resistance. Dura Soft, a comfortable and long-lasting fluoro rubber, is used to make the band. Its vivid green hue is inspired by the green Goliath frog. A design intended to inspire the wearer's inner adventurer is completed by eye-catching orange accents on the indicator hands and seconds. In addition to its unique diving capabilities, the MRGBF1000 has the standard features of an MR-G watch, such as strong shock resistance and Tough Solar power. The watch is perfect for travelling abroad because it has a Double LED (Super Illuminator) light that ensures readability in low light and can automatically adjust the time based on the wearer's location. The MRGBF1000 'Goliath Frogman' watch costs US$4,900 (~RM20,761) and can be purchased through G-SHOCK's official website. Swatch 'SCUBAQUA' Collection Swatch is getting ready for summer by going to the beach and revealing their new 'SCUBAQUA' collection, which draws inspiration from the ocean's undiscovered beauty. With five watches made of bioceramic and other bio-sourced materials inspired by oceanic protection, Swatch explores the deep blue sea. With its vibrant colours and textures, Swatch's 'SCUBAQUA' collection features classic icons perfect for adventures in the sun. The five watches have tinted clear dials, glow-in-the-dark accents, and 44mm casings. They are available in black, white, blue, red, and yellow. Each watch has a distinctive name that honours various jellyfish species. The 'SCUBAQUA' collection, as the name suggests, is made for deep-sea exploration and is capable of surviving 10 bars of water resistance. The new Swatch collection is available now in-store and online for US$150 (~RM635) What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0
